I was excited to see that Garnier Nutritioniste’s Skin Renew Overnight Regenerating Cream was a anti-aging cream that won’t clog pores.  That combination is hard to find and somewhat of a holy grail for us, no-longer-teenagers-but-still-prone-to-breakouts girls who are concerned about starting to fight off fine lines and wrinkles before they take too strong a hold.

Like other Garnier products, this cream includes natural ingredients to help increase their effectiveness.  This one contains Vitamin C to aid in cell turnover, magnesium to energize and hydrate the skin and lycopene to fight daily skin damage.  The product is a pretty thick cream that goes on light and isn’t greasy.  It has a nice, light scent and left my skin feeling incredibly soft in the morning.  Unfortunately, it did make my skin breakout a little.  I’m not quite sure why since it isn’t supposed to clog pores.  I tried it for two weeks and while my skin seemed more moist and plump, I still had more zits and blackheads than when I started my test.  And they cleared back up within a week of stopping the product.

So the hunt for the holy grail continues.  Have you tried this product?  What did you think?  Any trouble with breaking out?
